Vinton Woods - 10 miles, averaged 8:05. Did some strides. Warm.

Picked up some Kinvara 5s with a gift certificate I won from the race a few weeks ago and some reward money at Tri-N-Run. I won't be able to spend the GC because I am leaving Thursday and I didn't really want another pair of shorts and I don't wear a shirt this time of year. I have as many watches as I have appendanges.

I only have 10 miles and one run, but this is a very very good shoe. Seems firmer and wider than previous models (if Saucony asked what I wanted those were the two things). The overlays are taller coming from the midsole to help prevent side blowouts. Many other improvements but this is what I really like.

Kinvara 5 Miles: 10.00

Heard nothing but good things about it so far. I need a few pair of trainers, but I'm usually a couple generations behind.

I love the 2s. I have 4 I think, two in the queue. My 3s are begging to be retired and my 4s are testing the limits of 2Toms spray (since I'm married I need to manage my smells). You can get some deep discounts on the older ones.

Great review. Your check is in the mail.

You kind of have me sold on the shoe. I have been considering trying them for a while now.
